If trees could scream, would we still cut them down?

Well, maybe if they screamed all the time, for no reason.

Sorry, wrong pic

July 23, 2003

July 23, 2003

I've completely deleted that photo and reloaded the new one, but the old one is still showing up. If I go to my profile it shows the new one.

There we go, It took logging out a couple of times.

I'm working on this one. This is going to be a smashed penny design that we will be using as our sig item.

For those interested, here's a higher res scan of the design, and a simulation of what it might look like on a penny:

Oops! Those are bigger than I thought.

I missed this thread earlier but here's my avatar. It was drawn by my friend Willam Messner-Loebs and looks quite a bit like me except I always cache wearing shoes.

Ok ok. I'll email a vote for three avitars when the time comes.

Are you going to post a summary list of avitars so we can see it all at a glance? There really are quite a few good ones out there.

July 23, 2003

Ooh, ooh, I want in!

July 23, 2003

It is now Wednesday July 25th and we just decided on our logo...so we hope it is not too late to submit our design for the competition.

Thanks!!

...do you really think a geo hiking staff with my avatar on it will look good with your other geocachin' gear?

There's more than a hundred candidates!

It's going to be hard to vote without some kind of condensed ballot.

I think you should post a list of 20 or so finalists (picked by you or someone) so the voting will be easier.

I also think you (or someone) should include me on that list!

ROFL yeah, you have to include me too then []

Sorry...but I'm not putting my neck on the chopping block.

I gave a list of avatars as a guideline for you to go by. This isn't an exclusive list...merely a guideline. If there is like a 10 way tie...then we will narrow it down and re-vote on those.

I have been wanting one of your sticks for over a year now. The first time I saw them advertised on the site I told my husband it's a must have.

Just a simple pepper is all I am wanting.

oh, oh, oh, Pick me! Pick me! Pick me!

Pepper

To help with the reviewing of avatars, I'll put up a web page that lists them all with their associated geocacher name. Anyone who wants their avatar to be included, e-mail me. I'll make the page display the avatars in a random order each time it is displayed so there won't be more views of the people at the top of the page. E-mail me the URL to the avatar and the URL to a fullsize version (if you have one).

"Tanks," Markey, but being your basic computer illiterate, I'm not sure I can do that.

I know I could send an attachment through regular email, but I don't know how to do that through Groundspeak.

Can you please draw me a picture?...seriously.

Right click on your avatar, then click *properties.* That will show the Groundspeak url of your avatar. Copy and paste the address into the email to Marky.

That's totally awesome Marky. That'll make this much easier

I had to re-create since I couldn't find the original.

July 24, 2003

Thanks, El Diablo, for a neat competition - and thanks, Yrium, for alerting the southwestern group to it. A personalized hiking stick - how great is that?! If I win (and I can't imagine that my suave and sophisticated visage wouldn't be selected for this honor), I'll even change the picture on my profile page to reflect my good fortune. Here's the current profile pic...

Peace,

Radical Geezer

P.S. Guess I should note that the profile pic of me and the wife wasn't created for this competition - it's the only profile pic I've used. Just a bit of serendipity.
